Quad bike safety

Quad bike injuries can be prevented - they aren't part of the job. Quad bikes are not all terrain vehicles - they can't go everywhere, do everything.

Respect their limits, and make sure everyone on your farm follows these safety steps:

Farmers have the same duties under the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 as other employers. Farmers who don’t follow these safety steps risk penalties under the Health and Safety in Employment Act if someone working on their farm is seriously injured or killed.

WorkSafe New Zealand's quad bike safety project is part of the Agriculture Sector Action Plan.
